Yeah, Spaw, I have a friend here at work who was a sergeant in the Army in Nam. His favorite saying is that "It ain't raining, I ain't in the mud, and nobody's shooting at me. It's gotta be a good day."

Compared to some our lives are pictures of ease and rest. We need to keep that in mind when we are complaining about our lot in life. Kendall, for example, has had it tough this year. It is very easy for me to compare my problems to his because we each have our own perspective. Remember that the center of the universe changes with each step we take.
